Seoul Folk Flea Market on Postcard

"Seoul Flea Market Seoul's Folk Flea Market is a place where you can buy anything, I mean anything! This scary contraption looks like an invention of a comic book super-villain, but for the small price of 5 dollars you could be tightening those crow's feet and zapping imperfections in no time! Huzzah! This is truly a special market—with more random wingdings than your grandparents' attic. To get to the flea market, head to Sinseoldong Station on the light green line, Line 2. I recommend exit 10. After exiting, execute a U-turn, then walk straight for about 20 feet, take a right and walk straight for 280m. Along the way you will see vendors on the street and signage guiding you to the main building."

Some of the vendors here sell new stuff, mostly clothes, some of them specialise in different things like fishing, numismatic, antiques, vinyl, jewelry, repairs of different kinds, and so on, and the rest is... Junk. You really have to look and dig around certain stalls to find something worth your while and money. If you are a tourist and not really looking for clothes, this place is more for looking than buying. The stands stretch all around the designated building. Sometimes, things are just on the ground as people are trying to get rid of things. Sometimes, the prices are a bit steep for a flea market, so haggling is recommended. Parking lot by the market is pricey, so consider taking a bus.

An incredible 'flea kind' of market with Korean folk and vintage items. The food court is also great and offers Korean authentic food (my favorite is Al-Tang)

Seoul Folk Flea Market near Sinseol-dong metro station. Huge market place to explore easily spend half day or more as you walk thru the vast items on display & sale. Offering a wide variety of antiques, second hand stuffs from traditional to modern Korean items such as clothes, accessories, souvenirs, electronics, tools and food that you can’t find anywhere else. Great way to immerse in a different side of modern Seoul city. It’s open from 10am-5pm daily. Nearby is walking distance the Dongmyo Flea market flood with cheap second hand clothing, shoes, caps and bags.

This place is OK, but honestly most of the stands just sell used junk that people trying to have garage sales would have. A lot of second hand stuff/used things that are old. Very few antiques or things like that. Not really worth visiting if you’re a tourist. Good if you’re living in Seoul though and on a tight budget and need some supplies/clothes.

A little bit of everything and...a lot of nothing(?). Interesting to browse from a cultural and recent historical perspective. A good way to spend an hour or two, but not sure I would make a special trip or go much out of my way to see it.

Very cozy like flea market inside a building with lots of various stalls from watches to jewellery and clothes to antiques do note doh certain stalls will not entertain non locals unfortunately and will shoo you off other then that there’s a ton of stuff to look at!

The Seoul Folk Market is really worth visiting. Firstly, the venue is indoors. Secondly, the market houses a vast array of items for sale. I visited on a Friday morning and the only downside was that some of the vendors were not on site. However, neighbouring vendors were only too happy to contact absent vendors to promote sales. The nearby cafes served delicious food. I enjoyed a Tofu Soup which was cooked especially for me.
